Care Instructions:

• Plant only in full sun and well-drained soil; lilacs cannot tolerate soggy, wet conditions
• Rebloom of Bloomerang lilac occurs on the new growth the plant creates after its spring bloom
• For the best rebloom, it’s vital that the plant grows vigorously during late spring and early summer; Do this by keeping it well-watered and mulched and in plenty of sun (6 hours a day at least)
• If you wish to fertilize it, you may do so in early spring, once the ground has thawed, and again in late spring, after it blooms
• If you want to prune Bloomerang lilac, do so immediately after its spring bloom
• Never cut it back in fall, winter, or early spring; doing so will remove the spring flower buds
• Not necessary to prune Bloomerang lilac in order for it to rebloom
• Giving it a light trim after blooming does remove the developing seed heads, providing a neater look, and encourages more new growth for reblooming
• Bloomerang lilac requires a period of cold weather in order to bloom well
